Programme overview
The 1st IBUS Hybrid Module 1 Workshop, in collaboration with Guy’s and St Thomas’ Education and Events, will take place on July 12th – 13th, 2024 in London, UK.
This IBUS workshop has been developed by a group of international experts in IBD and intestinal ultrasound (IUS). Participants will learn about the basics of intestinal ultrasound (IUS) and the role of IUS in diagnosis, follow-up of treatment, and complications in IBD.
